Backend Software Engineer (Core Authentication) - Duo Security
Duo Security, now a part of Cisco, is the leading multi-factor authentication (MFA) and secure access provider.
Duo + Cisco = Disco
With the Most Loved Company in Security and the global leader in network technology joining forces, there are more exciting opportunities than ever to be at the forefront of securing the cloud.
Our mission is simple: democratize security by making it easy and effective for everyone. We're transforming security from the ground up by solving the world's most pressing geopolitical challenge - safe, secure information access. We engineer our business to enable our customers to easily address their ever-evolving security challenges.
We believe that impactful work is rewarding work and that our team is at its best when everyone feels empowered to bring their whole self to work. We learn together by hiring for cultural contribution, not cultural fit, and recognize that diversity in background and thought are essential to building high-impact teams.
We invest in growth and learning opportunities and encourage our people to never stop learning. We foster collaboration and believe in being recognized (and rewarded!) for hard work. We champion a healthy work-life balance. We're kinder than necessary.
Together we build for the future by designing simple solutions for complex problems. And that's why we're the most loved and trusted name in security.
What you'll do...
As a Software Engineer on the Core Authentication team, you'll be joining a new team whose aim is to reimagine how authentication works at Duo. As Duo moves to offer authentication offerings beyond Multi-Factor (SSO, Passwordless, Cisco Zero Trust) the need for shared services and features among them increases. The vision of this team is to identify and create these shared services, which can then be used as building blocks across Duo's products. You'll work alongside other engineers, architects, and cross-team collaborators as the team completes this vision.
Our ideal candidate has optimally developed highly scalable web applications and has a solid foundation of software development standard processes. Experience thinking through architectural trade-offs, developing with microservices, or interest working in the space are a big plus.
If you're coming up short in these areas, but think you could still knock it out of the park, convince us why!
